Quaternary Geochronology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal addressing methods and results in the dating of samples from the Quaternary Period.

The journal's scope covers the principles of geochronological methods, their analytical procedures, and instrumentation, such as Luminescence dating,{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1016/j.quageo.2021.101155| volume = 64| pages = 101155| last1 = Murari| first1 = Madhav Krishna| last2 = Kreutzer| first2 = Sebastian| last3 = King| first3 = Georgina E| last4 = Frouin| first4 = Marine| last5 = Tsukamoto| first5 = Sumiko| last6 = Schmidt| first6 = Christoph| last7 = Lauer| first7 = Tobias| last8 = Klasen| first8 = Nicole| last9 = Richter| first9 = Daniel| last10 = Friedrich| first10 = Johannes| last11 = Mercier| first11 = Norbert| last12 = Fuchs| first12 = Markus| title = Infrared radiofluorescence (IR-RF) dating: A review| journal = Quaternary Geochronology| date = 2021| bibcode = 2021QuGeo..6401155M}} Tephrochronology,{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1016/j.quageo.2010.08.003| issn = 1871-1014| volume = 6| issue = 2| pages = 107–153| last = Lowe| first = David J.| title = Tephrochronology and its application: A review| journal = Quaternary Geochronology| access-date = 2021-06-29| date = 2011| bibcode = 2011QuGeo...6..107L| url = https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1871101410000609| hdl = 10289/4616| hdl-access = free}} or Surface exposure dating.{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1016/j.quageo.2007.12.001| issn = 1871-1014| volume = 3| issue = 3| pages = 174–195| last1 = Balco| first1 = Greg| last2 = Stone| first2 = John O.| last3 = Lifton| first3 = Nathaniel A.| last4 = Dunai| first4 = Tibor J.| title = A complete and easily accessible means of calculating surface exposure ages or erosion rates from 10Be and 26Al measurements| journal = Quaternary Geochronology| access-date = 2024-10-19| date = 2008 | url = https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1871101407000647| url-access = subscription}} To that end, the journal is a platform for new and groundbreaking applications targeting the timing of events and processes in the Quaternary Period.

The journal was launched by Rainer Grün in 2006{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1016/j.quageo.2006.06.012| issn = 1871-1014| volume = 1| issue = 1| pages = 1| last = Grun| first = R| title = Editorial| journal = Quaternary Geochronology| access-date = 2024-10-19| date = 2006| bibcode = 2006QuGeo...1....1G| url = https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1871101406000811| url-access = subscription}} as a stand-alone journal to cover discovery in the field Quaternary Geochronology as research discipline. Before, articles from that field were published as a subsection in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews.
